    A Burgundy of great quality. Beautiful tannins on the attack, followed by freshness on the palate and pleasant length.

    Finesse and power, only Burgundians can master the art of winemaking to such an extent!

    Tasted in the cellar, beautiful, perfectly coated acidity. This 2013 has a bright future ahead of it, even if it would be a perfect accompaniment to a beef tartar.

    A wine that still expresses great youth! Crisp aromas and a fine structure bring a freshness to the tasting!
